Programs

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.

Clay for Teens (Ages: 13-17)

Let’s get down into the mud, and get our hands messy while learning to make pots out of clay. We will warm up by learning about the properties of clay while making pinch, coil, and/or slab-constructed pieces. Next, we will make the giant leap to conquering the potter’s wheel. With an open mind and a lot of practice, students will be guided through the process of centering, opening, and pulling up the walls of a cylinder, or any other forms that strike their fancy. Students will transform their pieces into finished pots ready for use, by glazing and firing their unique masterpieces.

Exploring Drawing, Painting and More! (Ages: 10-13)

In this course, students will explore the elements of art (color, form, line, shape, space, texture, and value) through various artistic media. Subject matter will include still-life, landscape, abstraction, and more. A different art technique will be introduced each week giving the young artist a chance to have fun exploring a variety of materials.

Youth Art Studio (Ages: 13-17)

Students will explore drawing, oil painting, printmaking, and 3D work. We will learn the basics of each genre with an opportunity to learn about perspective, color mixing, composition, etc. Students will be encouraged in finding their own personal voice with teacher support and guidance. This is a springboard class.
